B1 - spigot outside diameter at the widest point if tapered
Note: if the stove has a flue damper built into the spigot, please also measure the outside diameter at the postion the damper rod passes through the spigot too
B2 - depth of spigot from back of the stove to opening, or if a damper fitted from the damper rod
D1 - outside diameter of horizontal part of the Tee flue pipe or bend
Note: we measure flue pipe twiice at 90o across the open end of the pipe, add the two figures together and divide by two. It's this average we require
D2 - depth of the horizontal pipe to the point where it butts the vertical pipe or when using a bend where the pipe changes direction... or if there is a shoulder part way along the horizontal pipe see D3 below
D3 - depth of the horizontal pipe to the start of the shoulder
E1 - your chosen distance between the end of the spigot to the start of the Tee or bend
Note: the minimum is usually in the range of 30 - 60mm dependant on adapter diameters. The maximum is 200mm within the standard price. We can manufacture E1 longer than 200mm for an extra charge
Guidance notes
- if you have an antique French stove we may have the spigot dimensions in our database so it's worth asking. Calipers are the usual method of measuring the outside diameter but if you do not have these then send us the circumfrence dimension. Measure this with a piece of thick cotton, we will calculate the outside diameter for you
- most antique stove spigots are tapered, even if only very slightly
- we need you to measure the actual Tee or bend you will be using as ' nominal ' sizes are just that and are not exact
- we require full payment with order. There are several methods of payment, please contact us for details
- we manufacture so that you have a snug fit at both ends of the adapter. To do this we need you to supply accurate dimensions, as we are building the adapter just for your application and situation. If the adapter is a poor fit or worse doesn't fit at all, it will be of no use to you, us or anyone else , we do not issue refunds if we manufactured accurately to your dimensions
- if you require any further help please contact us, we are here to help and very happy to do so
